Their Friday evening security guard should be though. He was wearing a hoodie and talking on a cell phone when I approached the door to return a book. He looked like one of the indigents that loiter there. He told me they were closed, so I asked who he was. He called me an AH. He said he was one of Topeka's finest. They must be proud.

Not unless Amazon starts giving away all their books for free and beaming the contents directly into our skulls. Libraries may look different, and we may access them differently, but people are still going to want what they provide.

No. I was almost going to say that this is a stupid question, Ergo, freedom of speech an such. Then I looked over and was reminded by a book called Little Black Sambo which was given down from my Grandmother. Guess it was considered racist as you will won't find it in any Library these days.

If you happen to find and read it you will find that it was, in idea, flawed by many racial misunderstandings from some. It is a good book.

~ And I really loved the old Sambos restaurant off 23rd St. in Lawrence. They made some great meals.

I actually have a copy of "Little Black Sambo"! It was my mother's when she was young. Loved the story so much as a child, I named our Border Collie "Sambo"! (I think I was two, at the time.)
For a while, the book was marketed as "Little Brave Sambo", but I think that one may have been banned, also.

What happened to the link and list of web blogs on the front page of the website? How can I find Roe's and Ronda's (or any other members of the ♣) latest blogs easily? Are they trying to hide them as opposed to banning them? Now I have to hunt around. Guess I'll have to bookmark that webpage along with Sarah's OHT.

I'm not so sure. I bought one of them Kindles last month. I couldn't turn the page on the damn thing. I licked my fingers and everything. Reminds me of when I got an mp3 player a few years ago. Pretty cool, but I couldn't figure where you put the cassette in.

My iPad works better when my fingers are greasy/dirty/sticky and/or the screen is greasy/dirty/sticky. I bookmark frequently in case the pages start flying backward or forward, which happens frequently.

About 20 years ago, I stood in line at The Raven to get all my Grafton books autographed. I really loved them. Then, she started getting complacent & boring. I think I quit reading them somewhere around 'R is for Rehashed.'

Remember "Steal This Book" written by Abbie Hoffman? I had it when I was 17. I lent the book to a friend whose mother got so upset when she saw it, my friend was not allowed to associate with me any more.

Back in the 70's there was a book called Father Pig. It was about young hippies banding together and conspiring to murder their parents with a lot of sex thrown in. I believe the book started out in Lawrence, Ks. Probably wasn't banned because it made hippies look bad.

I love how "someone complained about something once and requested it's removal from an isolated place that probably gets their money" is akin to banning. Yesterday, I banned a stale hardened pizza crust from a plate on my kitchen table. Should we start a Food Banning week in its honor? We can put up signs of delicious pizza with sad faces and talk about how much I hate freedom.
